When seating heavier boattails so only boattail stuck inside the neck / shoulder was thought to be ideal. However experience prooved that location also puts the pressure ring of bullet jacket (largest dia. spot, usually where boatail joins the body dia.) Right at the area of brass case that thickens into the dreaded Donut.More time was spent checking and returning case necks and still it was suspected a few tight conditions slipped by that tossed shot out of groups. I run a tight neck chamber in that rifle so it became an issue until the chamber throat wore and the bullets were seated further out. rjb [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
